Pinboard API callers may authenticate
using the HTTP Basic Authentication scheme with the credentials
provided in the URL
(i.e. ‘https://username:password@api.pinboard.in/v1/method’) or
with an API key provided in the query parameters
(i.e. ‘https://api.pinboard.in/v1/method?auth_token=user:NNNNNN’).
Given the obvious security concerns in the former, pin
only
supports the latter. You can find your API key
here once you’ve signed-up
& logged-in.
You can provide that token to pin
in one of the following
three ways:
PINBOARD_API_TOKEN
environment variable
600
, for instance).
Instapaper credentials may be provided as parameters to the
send
sub-command, in the environment variables
INSTAPAPER_USERNAME
and INSTAPAPER_PASSWORD
or in the
configuration file (see The Configuration File).
